AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The carbonated aqueous medium provides stable, effective coatings with maintained taste masking and storage stability, as the carbon dioxide is removed during drying, and the polymers remain soluble for extended periods without the need for additional excipients.

Problems solved by technology

These kind of polymers are soluble in organic solvents but insoluble in pure or demineralised water.
However the addition of pure acids like HCl for instance may deminish the taste masking ability or the positive effects on the storage stability.
However sometimes the use of the amino(meth)acrylate polymer or copolymers in powder form may cause problems with dust.

Small Laboratory Scale Manufacturing of a Carbonated EUDRAGIT® E Solution at Normal Conditions

[0073]In a 1 liter PE-beaker 465 g water were poured. After dissolving 15 g of TEC in the water at 1000 Rpm using a conventional stirrer with dissolver plate (diameter: 5 cm). 75 g EUDRAGIT® E 100 granules (1-3 mm in diameter) were dispersed for 5 min at 22,000 rpm using an Ultra Turrax. Then 3.5 g simethicon dispersion (5%) was added and finally water ad 600 g. Under stirring at 500 rpm using the conventional stirrer with dissolver plate, the dispersion was carbonized 24 h above the liquid at normal conditions, temperature (25° C.) and pressure (1013 mbar). A weak turbid solution was obtained. Viscosity of the 12.5% EUDRAGIT® E containing solution (amount before carbonization) was 5.6 mPa*s at 25° C. The pH of the fresh prepared carbonized solution was 6.75. The solution was filled in a 1 liter polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle with a polyethylene closure.

Medium Scale (20%-wt.) Manufacturing of a Carbonated EUDRAGIT® E Solution Under Pressure

[0074]2.4 kg water was poured into a 5 liter beaker. Then 600 g EUDRAGIT® E PO were dispersed during 15 min at 2000 rpm using a conventional stirrer with dissolver plate (diameter: 5 cm). 3 kg of the suspension have been poured into a 6.4 liter stainless steel reactor with CO2 supply. The reactor was closed and the propeller stirrer was set at ca. 150 rpm under a 5.0 bar CO2 pressure. The rotary speed was increased up to ca. 350 rpm after 15 minutes. During the whole process time (ca. 7 h) the CO2 pressure was adjusted every half an hour to ca. 5 bar (min. pressure was 3.6 bar). The final product was a clear, slight viscous yellowish solution. Subsequently, the pressure was reduced to normal pressure (ca. 2 hours), the product was poured in 1 liter PET bottles. Final yield was 2800 g, of a 20% by weight EUDRAGIT® E solution. The pH value was 6.8 and the viscosity was 14 mPa*s at 25° ...

Medium Scale (30%-wt.) Manufacturing of a Carbonated EUDRAGIT® E Solution Under Pressure

[0075]2.8 kg water were poured into a 6.4 liter reactor with CO2 supply. Then 1.2 kg EUDRAGIT® E 100 were added under stirring at 300 rpm with a propeller stirrer (7 cm in diameter). The reactor was closed and the propeller stirrer was set to ca. 550 rpm and CO2 pressure was set to 5.0 bar. During the whole process time of 6 h at 25° C. the CO2 pressure was adjusted every half an hour to 5 bar (min. pressure was 3.4 bar). Subsequently, the pressure was reduced to normal pressure (ca . . . 1 hour), the product was poured in 1 liter PET bottles. The bottles were closed immediately because of foam forming. Final yield was 3.5 kg. The viscosity was 138 mPa*s at 23° C.

Abstract

The invention relates to an aqueous medium containing an amino(meth)acrylate polymer or copolymer which is not soluble in dematerialised water, characterized in that the medium has a content of an aqueous phase of at least 60% by weight and a content of up to 40% by weight of solids comprising the amino(meth)acrylate polymer or copolymer, whereby the aqueous phase is charged by a sufficient amount of carbon dioxide that effects the amino(meth)acrylate polymer or copolymer to be present in solute form in the medium. The aqueous medium may be used beneficially as a coating or binding solution for the spray coating or binding of pharmaceutical compositions or nutraceutical compositions or cosmetical compositions.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)[0001]This application is a 35 U.S.C. §371 national stage patent application of international patent application PCT / EP09 / 059853, filed Jul. 30, 2009, the text of which is incorporated herein by reference.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The invention refers to the field of aqueous solutions or dispersions containing amino (meth)acrylate polymers or copolymers to be used in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical or cosmetic formulations.TECHNICAL BACKGROUND[0003]Amino(meth)acrylate polymer or copolymers are well known to be used for instance as coating or binding agents in the field of Pharmacy (U.S. Pat. No. 4,705,695). Amino(meth)acrylate polymer or copolymers can be for instance composed of polymerized units of 30 to 80% by weight of C1- to C4-alkyl esters of acrylic or of methacrylic acid and 70 to 20% by weight of alkyl(meth)acrylate monomers having a tertiary amino group in the alkyl radical. EUDRAGIT® E and EUDRAGIT® EPO are examples for these kind ...
